The capacity crowd had to wait for almost two hours before he took the stage.
Wizkid took his time but when he did, he shut it down. His one hour set took the crowd back to his beginnings with EME and through his ascension as Africa’s number one artiste. He also brought out former Mohits/Mavin star Wande Coal to share the moment with him.
The show was broadcast live on his official Facebook page. The show went on and on. When he eventually performed Ojuelegba, the hall went wild. He had to perform it twice when his fans asked for it. Although when he performed Come Closer, Drake was (again) a no show but who cared; Starboy had come to show he’s the world’s gift from Nigeria.
The show eventually came to an end more than an hour later.
Wizkid is the first African pop musician to sell out at the iconic arena. As he closed, he told the audience that his next move is to sell out the O2 Arena next year.
Wizkid's contribution to the Nigerian Music Industry has earned him several achievements. As of June 2017, Nigerian recording artist Wizkid has received a total of 44 awards from 157 nominations.
He is the recipient of two BET Award, three Billboard Music Awards, two iHeartRadio Music Awards, one MTV Europe Music Awards, four MTV Africa Music Awards, two SoundCity MVP Awards, one African Pride Award, two MOBO Award, six The Headies Awards, two Channel O Music Video Awards, six Nigeria Entertainment Awards, two Ghana Music Awards, two Dynamix All Youth Awards, two City People Entertainment Awards, and a Future Award. In addition, he has been nominated five times at the MTV Europe Music Awards, three times at the American Music Awards, once at the Grammy Awards, as well as four times at the World Music Awards.
